Ich teste gerade das Crossposting zwischen Instagram und dem Fediverse – via @Publer.
Um ein kleines Stück der Tür des goldenen Käfigs kommerzieller Plattformen zu öffnen:

In Vorbereitung auf freie, offene und für alle sichtbare kulturelle Vernetzung. Ohne Plattformzwang.

Testing some photos on Pixelfed with the Impressia app. Is this the best way to also share to mastodon? Any way to crosspost to both at the same time? 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Bundesregierung So what?! 🤷‍♀️🙄

Ich fand dieses schon immer nervig, aber ausgerechnet auf für einen Kanal bei dieser zu werben ist wie im Supermarkt ein Schild mit dem Satz "Wir haben auch Doritos-Chips" ins Gemüseregal zu stellen.

My blog host has a pretty decent cross posting function, when it works. Sometimes, and it’s frequent enough to be a noticeable thing, it just doesn’t work. This is why I prefer to use Echofeed.app by @robb instead. Simple, consistent, reliable.

tl;dr — how do PieFed/Lemmy/Mbin handle cross-posting?

Currently, when a NodeBB admin moves a topic from the uncategorized pseudo-category into a local category, we federate out an as:Announce, people typically think of that as a "boost" or "share".

That worked fine when the entirety of the category list was your local categories plus the "uncategorized" pseudo-category. However, now that NodeBB is moving towards supporting remote categories (via group actors), this UX makes less sense. We wouldn't want to "move" a topic out of the category it is supposed to be in, just for visibility to other local users. Additionally, topic moving was limited to administrators, and from the get-go we knew it would eventually cause issues because people other than admins would want to share topics to other local users.

This is where the "cross-post" functionality comes in, which is entirely new to NodeBB. I don't think this is new to other AP-enabled threaded discussion software. The idea would be that if a new topic comes in, whether it's uncategorized or not, any user could "cross-post" that topic to a local category, where it would be visible to other users on that instance. On the ActivityPub side, we would then federate out an as:Announce as we already do.

Is this what PieFed/Lemmy/Mbin already do, if they support cross-posting? What other alternative solutions would there be to this problem?

@openvibe.social I was loving the app for a while but the bugginess is too much for me now; I can no longer type or paste text. I hope you smooth things out. I would eagerly pick up the app again. #fediverse #crossposting #openvibe

Does anyone know of a good iOS app that would allow me to easily cross post to both Mastodon and Bluesky at the same time? I’m attending a conference starting tomorrow and I’m thinking I might want to post about it on both platforms. Any thoughts?

Does anyone know how to get @pixelfed posts to also show up here on @Mastodon? Is there any sort of cross-posting? I’m thinking of how instagram posts can automatically show up on the FacePlace. Is that a thing? Or does it have to be done manually? 🤔

@help When I manually crosspost something from the web interface, there are different behaviors for Bluesky and Mastodon that do not make sense to me. For Bluesky, the web interface jumps back to where I was after crossposting, which is helpful. That is not the case for Mastodon. #microblog #crossposting

Who would have thought that building a publishing platform that supports cross-posting to multiple social networks all by yourself is going to be a challenge? 🤣

Every day comes with a new unexpected challenge. The UI is still the hardest part due to trouble with automatic testing. My e2e suite keeps growing and is much more stable than before but every new spec I add is a trial-and-error experience.

My strategy is to add missing spec every time a UI bug is found or there's a regression. Sometimes it can take up to an hour just to get that e2e spec pass. If you compare this to backend tests, where I can write dozens of new test scenarios in less than an hour...UI is hard 🙃
